Airtel will offer bundled offers for 4G featured phones. Currently Lava is only brand with 4G featured phone and the other brands like Micromax, Karbonn and Intex will be soon introducing their own branded 4G featured phones. With the bundled offer with vendor partners, Airtel can gain the privilege in the market. Where Jio devices will be limited to company’s network Airtel do not have such restrictions.

This is not something new that Airtel is going to do. It has already implemented such strategies with several phone manufacturers and it has already proved beneficial for the company.
